I'll just save the $300 and push my throttle further until I get the desired power.
Frankly, I haven't seen many dyno charts showing more power, but I have seen an aweful lot of comments like "Yo Dawg, this TB is the shizzy. It gives so much power, you have to be careful you don't spin your wheels when you don't want to, or hit the cars in front of you cause soon as you touch it the car just jumps."
I'd be very careful especially with your Aerocharger. It might become undrivable.
The stock TB was DESIGNED for slow response. Look at the way the plate is bent, and how it is shrouded. I know for a fact that it was specifically designed to have a slow and smooth response.

Damn, i almost wanna send you mine to test out for free, not that im saying its the kind of all mods or something, but it is a nice addition and is pretty fun to drive...
Its like talking about flywheels...
if you want it to rev faster, just hit the pedal faster and farther you know? U cant say stuff like that
For example, im not sure how to explain it but when i had to go back to stock for a week or so, it was a complete different feeling, i felt TOTALLY awkward driving the car, like i had to be more carefull cause i was used to the car responding faster, NO P< its not the same as pushing the gas pedal faster
Lets do a race, put a stock focus next to a stock focus W/ TB and hit the gas pedal the same exact way and see the difference...then hit them both harder like you say, there is still a difference, on the stock TB, there feels like a 1 second delay or something, sort of like a clutch for a clutch type of thing on the TB....with the FC one, or another like TB< it just does what you want when you want, i think it would actually be great for autoX or tracks, because you take a corner, and gotta hit it real quick and then get off for the next one, you will get ALOT quicker response with the aftermarket one
BUt you just gotta try it its hard to explain man...im by no means praising the TB as the best of the best mods, but again, its just better to drive
PS>>> And we DID dyno it, a few times, mostly stock cars, gave about 2-4whp, mainly in the mid 3hp range, starting from the midrange and up...
